Information de la ES 2
flash info (17 - Bouffier Bryan / Bellotto Victor): Difficult start, it is not easy but we are doing our best. Compared to last year it is a good start...
flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): We make a mistake on this one. I enjoy it. The car was very good today.
flash info (16 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Generally the feeling is okay but since shakedown I have had some doubts about the power of our car. To be honest, this stage in the beginning, I was driving very well and I do not know where I lost.
flash info (12 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): Quite tricky, I have difficulty to find the feeling. Struggling a bit with the snow. I think the first stage was ok and the feeling was promising. I think the tyre choice was good.
flash info (10 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): My no stud tyre choice helped us in the first part and I knew I would have to take it carefully on the descent. No regrets over my decision. I need to work more on my asphalt technique tomorrow.
flash info (4 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): On the first stage I wasn't really happy with the handling. This stage was difficult too. Tomorrow is another day.
flash info (3 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was very careful, too careful for sure. I don’t want to break anything. The other tarmac section I could have gone faster. But I didn't want to finish the rally on the first day. I feel like I am sometimes learning the car.
flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Feeling really good. This was good for us last year too.
flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): Like Monte-Carlo, not so much to say. Everyone knows it is really difficult. You find some grip some where and in the next corner… The car is behaving really well. I am not 100% happy with what we are doing at the moment.We need to take a bit of time. I think it will be better in the daylight.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was alright, I took it a bit too careful in the down hill. The gravel crew is doing a good job and I can really trust my pace notes. Good conditions but you have some ice to take you out.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We hit something on the first proper icy place. Suddenly we started to slide and we hit a stone or something. I thought we had damaged the suspension so I backed off. We'll get back to service.
(2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): hit something and damaged suspension
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Happy to be here. Those were nice stages. The first one was fine, good grip. But this one a bit different. The last part is very slippery and icy. We just did the very beginning of the rally, I am pleased to be there.
Start of stage is again dry, but there are big parts of snow and ice on stage.
